Add Physiocracy

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

Physiocracy, an 18th-century economic theory, significantly influenced modern economic thought. By highlighting agriculture's importance in wealth creation and advocating for minimal government intervention, it laid the groundwork for capitalist ideologies and emphasized natural economic laws. Its impact on shaping economic theories and policies makes it a vital inclusion in discussions surrounding foundational economic concepts.

   Thank you. I hope this lead to the improvement of one or both pages, but I think sunlounger is a very niche variant of the deckchair.

From the discussion in anime and manga section, several people suggested this should be vital and I concur. Influential genra (Sailor Moon is V5). 34 interwikis, 544 pageviews daily. Seems vital. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:17, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Reduce museum quota

I love museums, but hmmm, 125 seems too much - as the discussion just above illustrates, most of those listed are local, not even regional, with less then a century of history. It is also quite weird that 'Cultural venues' lists only specific musems (the section is also listing general concepts for music venues, opera houses and such). I'd suggest pruning museums by half or so to 60, perhaps giving 10-20? to those other venues (Sydney Opera House  4 is listed under architecture, the only other opera house we list is Oslo Opera House  5). Side note: weird pro-Russia bias in that section, Russia gets 9 museums, comparable to traditionally biased UK (11) - compare to the rest of Western Europe (13) and Central Europe (14)... PS. In case museum is now a subquota and irrelevant, then what we should cut down might be the quota for Cultural venues? PPS. In case this is irrelevant too, then let's just vote on removing few dozen stubby regional museums below. -_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

I haven't looked into other articles, but Concertgebouw, Amsterdam  5 is a concert hall that is listed under Museums. We should probably add a header for "Specific cultural venues" instead of placing them under Museums. In fact, I'll do it now, feel free to revert. feminist🇭🇰🇺🇦 (talk) 10:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Move subcultures from Sociology to Society/Groups; move some quota from psychology to sociology

TL;DR: Sociology is at quota (60/60), Psychology unfairly IMHO has a much larger quota (220) that it does not even use right now (184/220). Some entries from sociology and society need to be swapped and psychology should share some of its unused quota space with sociology.

Sociology states "This section contains 60 articles out of a quota of 60.". Which may have some balance issue considering that Psychology has a quota of 220 articles. Further, a third of sociology quota is eaten by a list of subcultures. I am sorry, but concepts like Furry fandom or Hippie are vital, but they should not be eating the quota of sociology. Those belong to Society/Groups where I propose moving them. This will fill up Society (currently under quota, "This section contains 186 articles out of a quota of 200."). Second, I suggest moving some unused psychology quota ("This section contains 184 articles out of a quota of 220") to society topics.

As an additional illustration why this is needed - sociology has plenty of VA4 entries with no subarticles. As a sociologist I can easily think of dozens key theories and concepts that should be listed at V5 (several - about 10 - are listed under ambiguous main section for society, up to and including Society  1 and should be moved to sociology; FYI the basic definition of sociology is the study of society). What concepts - I'll propose some next year, but for example, we do not list many major branches of sociology (ex. Sociology of religion - 36 interwikis, Sociology of education - 35, Sociology of law - 31, Economic sociology - 31, Urban sociology - 28, Sociology of the family - 27, Sociology of culture, etc.). Those should be added to V5 (I'll note that psychology lists many of its branches, such as Psychology of religion  4 - which is totally fine, but if we list psych of rel. we should list soc. of rel. too.). For an example of a major sociological theory missing from vital right now I'd point for example to Rational choice theory (30 interwikis). Or methodological concept of {{VA link}Discourse analysis}} (40 interwikis). I am sorry, to have sociological quota filled with furry fandom instead of such stuff is just... sigh.

To address this, I propose some minor quota readjustments and topical swaps. Nothing here will cause stuff to go over quota if executed, and all sections will still have some room to grow. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:31, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

1. Not too sure, civil society, institution, stateless society are all concepts that are not necessarily from sociology. The Blue Rider 14:03, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

   @The Blue Rider For what it is worth, I am, professionally, a sociologist, and I think this field is most relevant for such concepts. Most are basic elements of stuff we teach students during the introduction to sociology courses and feature prominently in introductory textbooks for sociology :) As usual, vital suffers from one-dimensional categorization, so no solution is perfect, but that group is simply not even defined where it is, whereas it would fit well with general concepts under sociology. I mean, what plausible reason is there to have social norm or social structure there (at society) instead of together with concepts like social control or socialization, which are at sociology? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:01, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

   Well, I learned about all these concepts from my International Relations's licentiate as well. I really don't think these are exclusive to sociology, the "society" category at least would be sort of neutral. The Blue Rider 12:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
